English translation

1425. It was reported from Abū Al-Aḥwaṣ, from Abū Iṣḥāq, from Buraid bin Abī Mariam, from Abū Al-Ḥawrā, who said: "Al-Ḥasan bin 'Alī said: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ taught me phrases to say in Witr'" — Ibn Jawwās (one of the narrators) said: "in the Qunūt of Witr — "Allāhumma! Ihdīni fīman hadait, wa 'āfinī fīman 'āfait, wa tawallanī fīman tawallait, wa bārik lī fīmā a'ṭait, wa qinī sharra mā qadait, innaka taqḏī wa lā yuqḏa 'alaik, wa innahu lā yadhillu man wālāita wa lā ya'izzu man 'ādait, tabārakta rabbanā wa ta'ālait. (O Allāh! Guide me among those whom You have guided, and [1] Sūrat Al-Ikhlas (112). [2] Meaning both Sūrat Al-Falaq (113) and Sūrat An-Nās (114). protect me from all causes of grief, along with those whom You have protected from all causes of grief, and take charge of my affairs, along with those whose affairs You have taken charge of. And bless me in all that you have given me. And protect me from the evil that You have decreed, for indeed You are the One that decrees, and none can decree against Your (decree). And indeed, one whom You protect will never be humiliated. Your blessings abound, our Lord, and You are Exalted).” (Saḥīḥ)

Arabic text

1425 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَوَّاسٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْحَوْرَاءِ، قَالَ: قَالَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ عَنْهُمَا: عَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَلِمَاتٍ أَقُولُهُنَّ فِي الْوِتْرِ، - قَالَ ابْنُ جَوَّاسٍ: فِي قُنُوتِ الْوِتْرِ: - «اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ، وَعَافِنِي فِيمَنْ عَافَيْتَ، وَتَوَلَّنِي فِيمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ، وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَقِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ، إِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَلَا يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ، وَإِنَّهُ لَا يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ، وَلَا يَعِزُّ مَنْ عَادَيْتَ، تَبَارَكْتَ رَبَّنَا وَتَعَالَيْتَ»،

Commentary

The Arabic word Qunūt has a number of meanings: obedience, submissiveness, prayer (Salāḥ), supplication, worship, standing (Qiyām) during prayer, and keeping silent. Qunūt, as used in the context of the Witr prayer, means supplication.
